Welcome to Andrew's Studio, the online home of Andrew Shuping, and I'm a librarian. The weird looking guy over to the left is me. On this site you can find links to the various social networking sites that I can be found on, links to projects that I'm working on, and other assorted information. Some of the projects I'm currently working on include:

  • Improving my coding skills in PHP, JavaScript, Jquery, and working on learning Python
  • Writing reviews of comics at ComicsForge
  • Reading and reviewing graphic novels over on Amazon
  • Exploring and playing with new technologies
  • Drawing, painting, and photography when time allows
  • Keeping two mischievous cats from taking over the world
  • Working at Jack Tarver Library, Mercer University, Macon, GA as the Emerging Technologies and Services/Interlibrary Loan Librarian.
  • and other assorted special projects when time allows, such working with an English professor on a graphic novel class

In 2007 and 2008 I wrote reviews of art books and graphic novels for the Moonshine art magazine, a web based publication from a local Georgia Librarian. Below are links to some of the reviews that I did for the publication.

Book Reviews for Moonshine: A Journal for the Arts

Amulet (Book 1) The Stone Keeper by Kazu Kibuishi
Little Things: A Memoir in Slices by Jeffrey Brown
Enclosure by Andy Goldsworthy
Three Shadows by Cyril Pedrosa

Since that time I've also been reviewing books on a few other sites such as Goodreads.com, LibraryThing.com, or Amazon (url specific for Amazon.) Some specific reviews of graphic novels can be found on my Tumblr blog at Sir Shuping and his reviews.
